GLOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 550,592, dated December3, 1895. Application flled August 14, 1895. Serial NO. 559,209. (Nomodel.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT BECK CHANT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Port Jervis, Orange county, in the State of New York, haveinvented a new Improvement in Gloves, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of the same, in which f Figure l represents aface view of a gloveblank, together with the blank of the glovefingerlining. Eig. 2 represents a face view of the glove-blank, showing aglove-Enger lining attached. Fig. 3 illustrates a crosssection of theglove-fingers after the blank has been formed into a glove.

My invention relates more particularly to silk gloves; and it consistsin a glove of this character' wherein a separate lining, cut from asingle piece, is secured to the blank of a glove before the same hasbeen united to form a glove, whichjlining is so formed that it followsthe contour of the portions of the blank to which it is secured and isof an extent at the index-finger sufficient to extend around three sidesof such glove-finger and has three finger-lining strips, each of whichis adapted to extend around but one side of the finger, so that areinforcement is provided at those portions of the fingers of the glovewherein the most wear occurs.

In the drawings, A represents a gloveblank, which is made of a singlepiece in the manner indicated and may be provided with a lined thumb Alining-blank B is cut from a single piece, preferably in the mannershown in the drawings, and, it will be observed, follows the contour ofthat portion of the blank A to which it is secured contained within theline a. This glove-finger lining-blank is secured to the blank A withinthe line a in any suitable manner, as indicated at h,.Fig. 2. The gloveis then put together by seams c d e f, which seams secure the looseportions of the glove together and connect the lining thereof to thebody portions or fingers thereof. It will be observed from Fig. 8 that alining is provided for the first nger g of the glove on the three sideswhere the most wear occurs and that a lining is provided in the threeremaining fingers on the palm-face only of the glove or glove-finger.

By my invention I am enabled to provide a lining for the ingers of aglove from a single piece, which follows the contour of that portion ofthe blank to which it is attached, and at those portions only of thefingers of a glove wherein the most wear occurs, thereby reducing thecost of the material employed, the labor necessary to make the glove,and providing an article which is neat inl appearance and is not bulkyor clumsy when upon the hand.

I am aware that heretofore linings have been provided for the fingertips of silk gloves, and such I do not claim, broadly; but

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A glove having a lining for the iingers thereof constructed of a singlepiece and of an extent at the index finger sufficient to extend aroundthree sides of such glove finger and three finger-lining strips, each ofwhich is adapted to extend around but one side of a finger, the blank ofsaid lining piece following the contour of that portion of the blank ofthe glove to which it is attached, substantially as described.
